Using Our Services FAQs

If a bill has BPAY® instructions, you can pay the bill via Internet, Mobile banking (including the Mobile App), or Phone banking for both personal and business banking purposes. If the biller uses another type of bill payment, you may need to refer to the instructions.

To make a BPAY® Payment:
1. Register for Internet, mobile, or Phone Banking if you haven't done so already
2. Look for the distinctive BPAY® logo on your bills
3. Logon to your Internet banking site or call your phone banking service
4. Select the BPAY® or bill payment option and follow the simple instructions
5. Wait for and record your receipt number

BPAY(R) payments can take 1-3 days to reach the biller once they are submitted. BPAY® payments are backdated to day that you process them in Internet, Mobile, or Phone banking, as long as they are submitted by 4pm on a business day.

In the mobile app, navigate to the 'Transfers and Payments' menu. You can transfer between your accounts, send money to friends or family, manage future transfers or payments and pay bills with BPAY®.

When paying a bill via BPAY®, the biller is the company or party you're paying. When receiving a bill that offers BPAY, a biller code will normally be included, which you use when paying via Internet or Phone Banking. Contact the Biller to find out their biller code or visit the BPAY website. You'll also need a Customer Reference Number too when paying a BPAY bill.

Non-Suncorp Bank ATMs may charge you a nominal fee for using their ATM to withdraw money. Suncorp Bank or Bendigo Bank ATMs are fee-free for our customers. Visit our online ATM locator to find one of 1,700 fee free ATMs near you.

If you have a Recurring Transfer set up, you can change the frequency of this at any time by selecting 'Transfer Money', and then clicking on the 'Edit' button next to the relevant transfer (which should be listed on the page).

If you have a direct debit set up, either from a Suncorp account or an external bank account, or if you are repaying your home loan from an external bank account (for example, from any non-Suncorp Bank account) and have a direct debit in place, you will need to contact the call centre on 13 11 55 to change your repayment frequency.

To register for Internet Banking, you'll just need at least one account number and a Telephone Access Code (TAC). You may have received this via SMS if you opened an account online or at a branch. If you don't have a TAC, just call us on 13 11 55 and we can arrange one for you. From there, just go to the 'Register for Internet Banking' page to get started.

If you require assistance through this process our Internet banking experts are available on 13 11 55.

Internet Banking is free, however if you process an international transfer, make a business payment or order a security token, you may be charged a fee. Each account type may incur fees and charges if you process transactions via Internet Banking so it is best to read our Fees and Charges brochure which is also available from any Suncorp Bank branch.

You can set up recurring transfers in Internet Banking, via the 'Transfer Money' section. This is a simple way to make managing your money easier and might be useful for payments like rent, gym membership, home loan or if you're putting money into a savings account. When setting up the transfer, in the 'Timing' section, simply choose the 'Recurring payment' option. You can make recurring payments weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

Future dated or recurring transfers are 'initiated' on the day you selected but the funds may not be available to the following day. If you have a recurring or future dated external transfer, the transfer will initiate on the day you selected but it may take 24-48 hours for the funds to reach the other bank or financial institution.

If the transfer (bill payment, funds transfer, business payment) is unsuccessful, you will receive an email notification . Log on to Internet Banking and read your secure message to determine which transaction was unsuccessful.

Note that for everyday banking, we are required to send you a statement at least every six months. Please visit your local branch or call us on 13 11 55 for any changes required.

For eStatements, these are available two days after the last day of the month. We will send an email to the primary email address attached to your profile when a new eStatement is ready. If you have multiple user profiles, we'll send an email to the primary email address for each profile.

If the transaction or money transfer date was set to 'immediate', please call us on 13 11 55 as soon as possible and we'll attempt to reverse the payment for you. Unfortunately, reversing a BPAY® in Internet or Mobile banking is not available. Please do not try to fix it by repeating the same process, as it will register as two separate transactions.

If the transaction was set up as a recurring or future dated transaction, you can go into the transfers or BPAY section of Internet Banking and cancel the transaction in the 'future dated' table. If we are unsuccessful in reversing a BPAY® Bill Payment, you may have to contact the Biller to notify them.

An eStatement is an electronic version of a traditional paper statement. Both are legal documents. eStatements are free of charge, and can be downloaded as a PDF, and printed, or saved.

We offer eStatements issued from 1 July 2013 onwards. If you'd like to order a statement from prior to this date, please send us a secure message in Internet Banking, call 13 11 55, or visit a Suncorp Bank branch. Fees and charges may apply.

To switch from paper statements to eStatements, you can do so in Internet Banking or the Suncorp Bank App. Simply select 'eStatements' from the menu, and then switch the 'online' button for each account you'd like to receive electronically. If at anytime you wish to switch back to paper statements, simply select the 'Paper' button on the eStatements page. You'll still be able to view any eStatements you have already received in Internet Banking.

For credit card statements, just log into Internet Banking and click 'Go to Credit Card Services', found on the eStatements page, or under your credit card number on the My Accounts page.

A 'Balance' alert allows you to be emailed if your account balance goes over a set amount, falls below a set amount, or if you have a Clear Options credit card, you can be alerted if your card balance comes to within $100 of its limit.

Balance alerts are typically emailed early each morning to your nominated email addresses. A detailed secure message will also be sent to your inbox within Internet Banking. To set up a balance alert, log in to Internet Banking, and click on the icon next to the account you wish to setup an alert on. This is a free feature.

A future dated transaction is any transaction (e.g. Funds Transfer, Bill Payment, or Business Payment) that you select in Internet Banking to occur in the future, rather than immediately. The time limit on how far in advance you can setup your transaction varies with the type of transaction you are performing. Time limits are up to 60 days in advance for Funds Transfers and BPAY®, and up to 7 days in advance for Business Payments.

If a daily limit applies to your future dated transaction, this limit will be checked on the future date of your transaction.

A security token is used as another form of identification when banking online, and enables you to transfer money from Internet or Mobile banking. To order one, log in to Suncorp Internet Banking, click the Security & Settings tab on the left hand side and choose 'Order a Security Token'. New or replacement tokens cost $20, which will be taken from the account you nominate.

Once you've received your token, simply log in again, go to the Settings and Security section, and click the "order/activate" link in the extra security section. Type in the serial number (located on the back as per the photo above) and the token will then sync with your Customer ID.

Tokens expire after 5 years, and the expiry date is printed on the back of the token. We will send you an alert in Internet Banking before your token expires, so that you can order a new one. Please order and activate a new token before your old token expires, otherwise you may have difficulties logging into Internet Banking.

An External Funds Transfer Password (ETP) is a password that is needed to transfer funds to an external account with another financial institution. It is different to your Internet Banking password and provides a second level of security when performing higher risk transactions.

To apply for a ETP, log in to Internet Banking, and select 'Security' in the left hand menu, followed by 'external transfer password application'. Your ETP will be sent to you by post for security reasons. If you have lost your ETP, you can request a replacement through Internet Banking.

It is different to your account number(s) and you'll enter it every time you logon to Internet Banking. Everyone gets their own Customer ID regardless of whether they have joint accounts with another person or party. If you do not have an Internet Banking customer ID, you will need to register for Internet Banking.

There are two reasons why an account may not be listed on the account balances page.
1. If the account isn't linked to Internet Banking. Only accounts that you personally have linked to Internet Banking will appear on the account balances screen. To add another account in the App, click on Add Account at the top of the Balances screen, and add any accounts that are missing. You can only link Suncorp Bank accounts.
2. The account is not included in your default profile. The Mobile Banking Apps don't support different profiles - it is only your default profile that can be shown. If you need to see an account in an App, it needs to be in your default profile. Accounts can be included on more than one profile if required. To add another account, simply choose the Add Account option at the bottom of the Balances screen. If you believe you have linked an account that is not showing, please call us on 13 11 55.

If you log in using a passcode or fingerprint loginyou will not need a token to transfer money externally to your accounts for a total amount under $2,000 per calendar day. If you need to transfer more than this, you will need to log into Internet Banking on a desktop, and use your security token.

To order a security token, log in to the desktop version of Internet Banking and click on 'Security and Settings', then 'Order Token'.

You can use your cards (including chip cards) overseas anywhere you see the Visa symbol, including ATMs and at EFTPOS terminals, though foreign currency fees and charges may apply. Check the Foreign Currency Fees listed in the Personal Deposit Accounts Product Information Document .

It's always a good idea to carry a "mixed wallet" when travelling overseas containing credit, debit, and multi-currency cards, as well as cash so if you lose one card, you still have other options for accessing your money. Suncorp Bank offers a wide range of options for travelling overseas, including our multi-currency cash card and foreign currency. Visit your local Suncorp Bank branch to discuss the best options for your travels.

A PIN is only required when you are present at point-of-sale terminals for purchases of goods and services, as well as cash out transactions if your card supports them. They are also required for ATM usage. Not all transactions will need a PIN and in each case, the terminal will prompt for a PIN if it is required.

Non-PIN transactions include:

- Contactless transactions (Visa payWave) under $100 and small ticket payments (under $35 at some merchants) do not need to be authorised by a PIN; -International transactions (transactions conducted by cardholders with cards issued by banks outside Australia);

- A PIN is not required for mail or telephone order transactions, or transactions conducted on the Internet. There are no circumstances in which you should reveal your PIN when making a purchase or booking services by mail order, over the telephone or Internet.

Depending on how you choose to use your Visa Debit card, fees and charges may apply. Things such as Foreign Currency conversion fees apply if you're using your Visa Debit card to pay for things in a foreign currency overseas. Cash advances fees may also apply.

During this call, you will be instructed on how to obtain a cash advance and a temporary card.

By advising us, you'll be entitled to all Visa card protections as provided by Suncorp Bank. It's important to remember that reporting a card lost or stolen will also enable us to cancel the card which will limit fraudulent transactions.

The Visa small ticket transaction service makes low value card acceptance even faster and easier for customers and sales staff by eliminating the need for cardholders to sign or enter a PIN when making a Visa card transaction of A$35 or less at selected merchants.

Currently, 18 types of merchants are eligible for the service in Australia. They include: car parks; car washes; pharmacies; dry cleaners, fast food restaurants; restaurants, cinemas, news agencies; quick copy services; service stations; taxicabs and limousines; tolls and video rental stores. Not all eligible merchants will immediately provide the small ticket transaction service to customers as the small ticket transaction service will be selectively rolled out.

You will need to call Suncorp Bank on 13 11 55. Once we have identified you, we will suspend the Verified by Visa service to allow you to complete your transaction.

Whilst the solutions are different, the small ticket transaction service in Australia has been specifically designed to complement Visa payWave and is designed to offer a range of payment choices and benefits.

Visa payWave is contactless technology that delivers benefits of speed and convenience whereby consumers can make a transaction by holding their card in front of a contactless reader, rather than having to swipe/dip their card or hand it over to a cashier. The convenience of payWave can be used for purchases up to the higher value of A$100.

The Visa small ticket transaction service is specifically designed for smaller value transactions whilst offering the convenience and speed of not having to provide a signature or PIN. The service is for transactions A$35 or less, regardless of technology.
